Dignity in Diversity
Enough is Enough
Imagine being a college freshman away from home at college. It is an incredibly emotional time. Then image what it feels like to see your stuffed Teddy Bear taken from your dorm room and lynched in a public display of hate. This is a real story I heard from a student while touring state universities. Enough is Enough. It is time to end campus racism.
The ENOUGH Report
This report details the traumatic experiences of campus hate and harassment on PA State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) campuses and responses from campus administrations. The report also lists concrete actions to address the attacks on dignity of students. All students on all campuses should be in an environment conducive to learning and free from discrimination. While the report focuses on PASSHE these concerns have been raised at Penn State and private colleges in Pennsylvania. The time for change is now. We’ve had ENOUGH.

That’s the picture painted by a data-rich new report, released on the final day of Black History Month, that measures changes in the quality of life for Pennsylvania’s Black residents between 2010 and 2021. The document is intended to serve as the basis for future legislation, lawmakers said Tuesday.
